Join us for an evening of scholarly dialogue on the origins, the transmission, and the reliability of the New Testament. Do we have the original manuscripts? Can we trust the copies passed down to us? How accurate is our New Testament today? These questions and more will be discussed by two top-tier NT scholars. Dr. Bart Ehrman and Dr. Daniel Wallace will present their respective positions before opening the floor for a time of Q&A. http://ehrmanproject.com/ntlost

The word stay is used 62 times in the New Testament.  The word go is used 1,052. Imagine a summer surrounded by people who desire to grow in their understanding to follow Jesus, getting a job in a resort location for the summer, having a lasting impact on a community, learn to apply the eternal love of God revealed in the Scriptures to every area of your life and share it with people around you.    Welcome to summer project…  This is life changing.

If you haven't decided what you are doing with your summer it is not too late, even if you think its a remote idea, come learn more about why this would be a rich investment with one of your 3 or 4.

Next Monday January 30 @ 530P we are going to have a dinner together on us and talk about your summer! Come with questions,  come for fun or just come for the food. Lasagna, bread, salad, brownies… Dinner will be at Emily Cosgrove's house off campus and we can provide rides. We just need to know who wants to come!

There is brokenness all around us. Physical, Relational, Spiritual – How do we engage in it and help restore it?  How do we become change agents within and around the destruction we find ourselves in everyday? Come explore the book of Nehemiah and see the threads of the gospel call us into the rubble and help make something new.
